Santiago stood over the dead body with blood spatter on his face, holding the knife he had just used to slit the condescending Captain's neck. He knew the day would come when vengeance would finally come, as he wiped the blood from his hands on the Captain's white shirt, turning it copper red.
As he looked up Javier appeared, he had his gun at the ready but put it back in his waistband and secured it with his belt once he realized it was his loyal friend. All the lashings he had taken from the Captain's cruelty was over, his heart lurched with excitement knowing his freedom was close at hand.
It was over a year ago when he and Javier first started working on The Villarta, the notorious pirate ship that was said to hold the mysteriously allusive treasure map of The Esperanza. It was whispered amongst pirates that the treasure was said to be over 1.5 million gold pesos that had been stolen by pirates, the ship sunk on an island named Palmyra Atoll during the full moon.
It was said the treasure was cursed and caused the ship to crash straight into the island never to be seen again. That is why the Pirate brotherhood called it dark treasure, full moon but Santiago and Javier took a blood oath that they would find that treasure. To Hell with the talk of curses, they would kill for gold. It was Javier that found the treasure map hidden in a secret compartment behind the Captain's bed. They looked at each other with understanding, they both had suffered humiliation to get to this point of their quest.
They quickly changed clothes and took the loot off the table as they made their way to the top deck and their escape ...
